Merida - Templo de Diana
In the Roman Empire, the city was known as "Emerita Augusta", the capital of the province of Lusitania. It was founded in 25 BC by Emperor Augustus as a colony for the veteran soldiers ("emeritus") of the Roman legions. The city was very important in Roman Hispania. It was endowed with all the comforts of a large Roman city and served as the capital of the Roman province of Lusitania. For centuries, until the fall of the Roman Empire, Mérida was an important economic, military, and cultural center.
Following invasions from the Visigoths, Mérida remained an important city of the Visigothic Kingdom of Hispania in the 6th century. In 713, the Arabs conquered the city and devastated it. Even under Islamic rule, Mérida remained a bishop's seat until it was moved to Santiago de Compostela in 1119.
In 1230 the Christian troops under Alfonso IX conquered Mérida during the Reconquista.
The so-called Temple of Diana is a Roman temple from the 1st century AD, located at the “Foro Romano de Mérida” the most important public area. It was probably dedicated to the imperial cult, not to the goddess Diana, and it must have been one of the city's main temples, judging by its dedication and the prominent position it occupied in the urban space.
